I think most of us know about the Kindle reader from Amazon.com. It’s a portable reading table and you can download books from Amazon to read on it. What I didn’t know is that you can read Kindle downloads on your computer (or cellphone).

Since 2001 I’ve run online discussion forums. PhpBB was my first software but they had a major software exploitation back in December 2004 that brought down my forum network. The release of Phpbb 2 and 3 seemed to alleviate a lot of the problems, but in the meantime I switched many forums over to VBulletin. [...]
I just love my Canon 5D Mark II camera that I bought a few months ago. But there are issues with the footage being jerky when using IMovie 09. I haven’t quite had the time to jump into using Final Cut yet, so until then you can use a free program called MPEG Streamclip to [...]

A list of Mac shortcuts for Sibelius notation software that I find useful when writing music notation.
This took me quite a while to find. Here is the query to use in MySql to create the search table in VBulletin. To find the code to create other tables in VBulletin database go to your VB upload files to: install/mysql-schema.php This was in response to an INVALID SQL error in VB 4.0 where [...]
A collection of my changed VBulletin 4.0 settings. I’m posting this so I can remember the changes as I go along that may be helpful to other people. Maybe other VB owners have better, or additional suggestions, they can let me know about. (hint, hint: leave a comment please!) Just released on December 21, 2009 [...]
My new pet peeve is real estate agents on Facebook. They become everyone’s friend by going through your friends list and then spam you. Bah humbug. I just received another friend request with “any friend of s0-and-so is a friend of mine!” and I think: Mmmm…I bet this person sells real estate. Sure enough they [...]
Add this to my list of stupid tech problems that wasted my time. This one about SIX hours. The Netgear router comes with an installation CD for PC only. If installing on a Mac you need to do it manually. I even tried using my VMFusion side with Microsoft XP to install but would not [...]
(Video above is Macbook Air boot comparision between SSD and HDD drives) I’ve spent way too much time comparing the different Mac computers with PC’s. At home I have 8 PC’s. two PC laptops and one Mac G4. I use the G4 to run the Digidesign ProTools TDM MixPlus music recording system. I use the [...]
Here is a list of software I fetched from a stock install of Fantastico. I feel like a kid in a candy store. Even if you’ve only worked on websites a short time you’ll probably recognize several softwares on this list. I see eleven on the list that I’ve already worked with extensively. Now I’m [...]
The error is when trying to install Fantastico on WHM Accelerated (Cpanel). From Cpanel when you click to install fantastico “You haven’t installed Fantastico yet. CLICK HERE to start the installation process” it just opens with the same window. I tried complex fixes including using control panel for php compiling and even looked at changing [...]

In preparing for updates to many websites I’ve been reading “Don’t Make Me Think” by Steve Krug. It’s a book on “A common sense approach to web usability.” The purpose of the book is to get out of the mode of thinking about what a website owner wants for a website; and to get into [...]
Did you know that most individual hosting accounts are limited to fifty concurrent connections? I didn’t. All these years of building hundreds of websites and running dozens and dozens of servers; well, that’s why I didn’t know it – I usually use dedicated servers for my websites. Except my personal blog here – I have [...]

Well this burned several hours of my time to get cronjobs running on a new server. I was manually setting crontab permissions to 4755 as CPanel requested before inputing a cronjob – but the permissions kept resetting themselves so my cronjob wouldn’t save. Do it from your ssh console as root instead; here is the [...]

I had a situation where I installed a legal paid version of a software program (Sibelius 4) but it said it would not run; that I had to run it as “administrator” rights. But I was already logged into my computer from my administrator account, so it didn’t make much sense to me. Here’s what [...]
